We have been struck by the number of adverts, shop displays and social media posts about teacher/staff gifts at this time of year.

We want to let you know that none of this is necessary.  It is upsetting to see that there is so much out there putting pressure on families to believe that this is what school staff expect. We don’t!

We do our jobs because we love it! We love your children and the best gift for us is having the privilege to be alongside them as they grow and develop.

So, once again we remind our families that a simple ‘Thank You’ is more than enough.

From all of the staff at Mount Carmel
